<pre wrap=""> I found a one-line script to convert .dbf files to .csv:

dbfdump.pl --fs "," mytable.dbf > mytable.csv
The author writes that the dbftools comes with DBD::Xbase. I just
installed the Xbase module but cannot find dbfdump.pl or dbftools.pl. My
Google searches also turn up nothing.

I found this:<br>
